Chapter 255: Raid on Yinshan (7)
I wish you all a happy New Year's Day.
"What? You said that the plateau had sent troops into the steppe. Tousu looked at Zhao Xin, holding a wine glass made of pure gold in one hand, and asked with some unbelievability: "Is this possible?" Daijun is two or three thousand miles away from here. Could it be that the army of the plateau flew in? β
In fact, Zhao Xin is not completely sure, although Shui Xinyue's speculation does have a certain amount of truth, but after all, it is only speculation, and there is no factual basis, but the words have already been spoken, and Zhao Xin can't take it back, so he had to say: "Although this is just speculation, but it is still very likely that the plateau sent people to sneak into the grassland and inquire about the news of the Huns, and he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, everything is still careful and good, so please ask the right Xian Wang to gather an army to check it, even if it is just in case, it is good." β
Tousu touched his beard, thought about it again, and felt that it was not wrong to be careful, and since it had been decided that he would send troops south again, he would always gather troops, so even if he gathered troops earlier, it was nothing? In addition, now he didn't dare to despise Zhao Xin's opinion, so Tousu also nodded, and said: "Okay, what Mr. Zhao said also makes sense, be careful and be afraid, 10,000 years is not too much......"
As he was talking, he saw a Hun general stumbling into the big tent with his beard, and said in a trembling voice: "King Youxian, the big thing is not good, there is an army of Daijun that is killing our camp, and now it is less than ten miles away from our camp." β
When Zhao Xin heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, Wu Anjun really killed him, which really made Shui Xinyue right.
And Tousu was also taken aback, but after all, he was the right virtuous king of the Huns, and he could still hold steady at this time, and said, "How many men and horses do they have." β
The Xiongnu general said: "I don't know, just look at the boundless army of Daijun, you can't see the edge at all, but look at that formation, let alone there are nearly 100,000 war horses?" β
"100,000 war horses?" The head beard suddenly turned pale with fright, his hand trembled involuntarily, the golden cup fell to the ground, and the glass of fine wine also fell to the sheepskin carpet.
Because the Huns have been dealing with horses, cattle and livestock for a long time, even if they can't see the number of enemies clearly, but looking at the number of horses, it is basically eight or nine inseparable, so the Hun general said that the Wu'an army sent 100,000 war horses, and it should not be bad there, although it is not a horse that means that there is a soldier, but even if it is calculated according to three horses and one person, then this time the Wu'an army dispatched about 30,000 troops, this number is also quite amazing.
Although the population of the Xiongnu under the head beard was more than 100,000, it was now scattered into several large parts, each stationed in the camp for grazing, and there were only more than 30,000 Xiongnu in the camp in Wuliangsuhai, while the Xiongnu in the young and middle-aged were only about 10,000. And at this time, they were all scattered and grazing on the shore of the Wuliangsu Sea, even if it was the king's camp of Tousu, there were only three or four thousand people, and the real Hun soldiers were less than a thousand.
But Tousu still can't figure it out, how did the Wu'an army go deep into the grassland for two or three thousand miles, and kill to the Wuliangsu Sea, because the march is not an easy thing, not just walk with your head down, the route of the march, the place of camping, the food and water sources of the army, etc., are all problems, by which there are more than 30,000 people, 100,000 war horses is not a small number, the amount of food and water required is huge, if the food can also be carried, but the water source can only be solved by finding lake water sources along the road, If you are not familiar with the environment of the steppe, it is simply impossible to march long distances.
But now that the other party has been killed to the edge of the camp, it is not the time to think about these things, because Tousu has faintly heard the dull sound of horses' hooves, so Tousu hurriedly ordered to gather all the Hun soldiers in the camp, and all those who can afford to hold weapons and ride war horses, regardless of men, women, old and young, all gather to meet the battle.
After ββββββββ dividing line βββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ Gao Yuan led the army from the valley, rushed all the way to the direction of Wuliang Suhai, and ignored the Xiongnu camps along the road, cattle and sheep and livestock, but as the Xiongnu camps on the way got closer and closer, the Xiongnu camps on the way, grazing cattle gradually increased, and some camps were blocked on the route of the army. And it was impossible for the Wu'an army to dodge, so they simply rushed over, leveled the camp, and dispersed the livestock. A small number of Huns who did not know whether they were alive or dead also came up to attack the Wu'an army, but as soon as the army rushed, they were immediately trampled into pulp.
After walking for more than two hours, it was close to noon, and the army of the Wu'an army finally arrived at the shore of Wuliangsu, and the camp of Tousu could be seen in the distance. The Hun residents around the Tousu camp fled one after another, scattering a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock.
Gao Yuan also immediately ordered all the cavalry to change their horses, and the 10,000 infantry troops with the army were on the spot to protect the surplus horses as reinforcements, and to prevent other Hun troops from rushing to the rescue.
After a while, all the cavalry had changed their horses, so Gao Yuan waved the spear in his hand and said loudly: "Charge." β
Although the camp of Tousu was stronger than other Xiongnu private lands, there was a wooden fence made of logs as a parapet wall for the camp, but this wooden fence was actually not much different from the fence wall, only more than one person high, and the gap between each log could even squeeze a child in. However, due to the early warning time obtained more than ten minutes in advance, seven or eight hundred Hun soldiers had gathered in the camp at this time, and there were also hundreds of Hun women, teenagers, and old people. Because the Huns are all soldiers, when it comes to the moment of crisis, as long as they can use weapons, they will participate in the war.
Therefore, the gate of the Xiongnu camp opened, and hundreds of Xiongnu soldiers rushed out of the camp and killed the Wu'an army, while other Xiongnu women, teenagers, and old people were arranged behind the wooden fence wall, holding bows and arrows, ready to guard the camp. And the head beard also hurriedly put on the horse, under the protection of dozens of guards, in the rear to watch the battle command, but looking at the huge momentum of the Wu'an army, the head beard can't help but turn pale, only relying on the Huns in the camp, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Wu'an army, now the only hope is to resist as much time as possible, the other Huns outside can organize, rushed to rescue themselves.
And at this time, Shui Xinyue and others also walked out of their tents, and many people's expressions were also very nervous, although Shui Xinyue speculated that the Wu'an army had gone deep into the grassland, but also thought that it was just one thousand eight hundred people, Shui Xinyue and others could rely on the advantages of their own side of the many masters, help the Huns, resist the attack of the Wu'an army, and also accumulate capital for Zhao Xin's future actions in the Huns. But they didn't expect that there were twenty or thirty thousand troops, and in this army, there would be at least one master who could be at the same level as the five god generals, such an overwhelming advantage, they were really powerless.
Ye Wuyue said: "My lord, what should we do now?" β
Shui Xinyue said: "The number of people coming from the Wu'an army is too much, I'm afraid we won't be able to help the Hun army win, gather all our people, and don't disperse in the chaotic battle for a while." As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the head beard again, and said: "Wait a while, the fight will start, our task is to protect the head beard to kill out, as long as we can save the head beard and protect him from the encirclement, we will be able to successfully break into the interior of the Huns, then this trip to the grassland will also be very profitable." β
Ye Wuyue hurriedly said: "Yes, I respect the order of my lord." β
While they were talking, the Wu'an army had already engaged the Hun army. Although the morale and fighting spirit of the Hun soldiers were not inferior, the number was too far from the Wu'an army, so as soon as the two sides fought, the Hun soldiers were killed one after another, and almost did not stop the assault of the Wu'an army at all, and were swallowed up by the Wu'an army in a blink of an eye.
Although the Xiongnu camp is not strong, but if the horse rushes hard, it will still cause a lot of losses, not to mention that behind the wooden fence wall, there are more than a thousand Xiongnu women, old people, teenagers, holding bows and arrows to garrison, although the combat effectiveness of this group of people is not as good as the young and middle-aged men, but if they rush hard, they can also cause certain casualties to the Wu'an army. Therefore, when the Wu'an army rushed to a place more than 100 meters away from the wooden fence wall, they stopped their horses, and then took out their bows and arrows and shot at the Xiongnu army in the form of projectiles.
Because the cavalry used horse bows, the range is closer, so they can only use the way of throwing to shoot to the camp of the Huns, but the number of Wu'an army is large, so the arrows are as dense as raindrops into the camp of the Huns, a few rounds of bows and arrows down, and the Huns were immediately wounded by nearly half, and the other Huns were also forced to retreat again and again by the rain of arrows.
At this time, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the array of the Wu'an army, and forced to a place more than 30 meters away from the Xiongnu camp, before throwing out the rope and lassing the wooden fence wall, and then all the soldiers worked hard and pulled back together, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the wooden fence wall was suddenly pulled down dozens of gaps.
When Gao Yuan saw that the wooden fence wall was collapsed, he immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Rush, kill into the camp of the Huns." As he spoke, tapping the belly of the red dragon's horse with his toes, the red dragon let out a roar, spread his limbs, and rushed towards the Huns' camp. And the other soldiers of the Wu'an Army also urged their horses one after another, followed behind the plateau, and rushed towards the Xiongnu camp. Although there were still some Huns shooting arrows at the Wu'an army in Yingniu at this time, they couldn't stop the charge of the Wu'an army at all.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, the speed of the red dragon is only a few seconds, wielding a spear on the plateau and pulling out a few feather arrows, the red dragon has rushed to the front of the Xiongnu's camp, but there is still a section of wooden fence here, which has not been collapsed by the Wu'an army, and is still blocked in front of the red dragon.
